Happy Birthday Karen... I'm sorry I missed the 16th, I had actually forgotten about this until I got the email reminder. I'm so glad I put this memorial up for you and I'm so happy they even made this memorial for our loved ones, now we have a place to go to spend time with the ones that we have lost. 

I must say I miss you and love you so very much. My selfish side says I wish you were here, my loving side says you are in a much better place. Life is so short Karen and has a way of getting away from us. I think about us kids growing up and remember that life was so simple then. I really wish we could have been a lot closer. the distance that separates us breaks my heart.

Mom and dad both are gone now, maybe you see them there? I don't know... Dennis is not well and very angry with me, Phillip is the same ole Phillip, a loving heart, drinks a lot and misses you a lot. Terry.... I don't talk to him a lot but I know he misses you too. Terry is consumed by his life, and I can understand that. One of his sons is a deputy police Sargent, the other makes videos on you tube or something like that. To be perfectly honest.... I don't know what he does. I do know that Terry and Jenna are very proud of both their sons.

I miss you Karen, and I wish you were here. I wish you could see how great your children have become, and their children. I haven't met your grand children except one, Stephen's son, I met him once. He looks just like Stephen did. Donita is awesome. She's a grandmother now. She looks so much like you Karen. She is so beautiful.

Karen... there is so much about them that I don't know. Hopefully, we can have this reunion and all of us get together and get to know each other better. 

I love you Karen, and miss you!!!

Happy Birthday Baby Sis!

Your were so beautiful.  I really do miss you so much.... I know we didn't talk much.... but knowing that your'e not here forever leaves such a big hole in my heart.

Dad has passed, and mom is very sick, she is living in a nursing home close the Terry and Jena. I don't know how much longer she will be here.

I really wish things could have been different sis!

I Love You!

Your Big Sis

I wish a million times we could have been alot closer to each other, you are my baby sister, my only baby sister and I love you so very much.

Happy Birthday Sis!!!!!!!

I miss and love her so much

A sister's love is special
in oh so many ways
Now miles stretch between us
and minutes turn to days.

We've shared so much as children
the tears, the joys, the pain
A lifetime spent together
those memories remain.

In times gone by we've pondered
the paths our lives have taken
Knowing that in spite of this
our sister love unshaken.
